Breville Smart Oven Compact
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Compact offers precise Element iQ heating and a versatile set of 10-11 functions in a brushed stainless-steel shell. Its modest 0.5 cu ft chamber and occasional temperature variance limit large-batch cooking. Ideal for small households seeking oven versatility without a full-size unit.
The Instant Pot Duo Crisp 8QT combines pressure cooking, air frying and ten other functions in a single 7.6 L stainless-steel unit. Its size, weight and sometimes confusing controls can be challenging for users with limited kitchen space. Best for families and meal-preppers who need a versatile, all-in-one cooking solution.
